Protein supplement suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hello friends! I am two weeks out from surgery today, and have been doing great reaching my Protein and Fluid goals. But tomorrow I start the next phase in my plan, which introduces more soft foods, and stops the Protein shakes. I know I'm going to have a very hard time reaching my Protein goals without the shakes. I have heard a lot of other people on here talk about unflavored Protein powder that can be added to food. But there are so many different kinds online!!! Any suggestions??? I would like something tasteless that is easy to add to food, but also willing to try something like a fruity flavor that I can add to my Water....

Thanks in advance ????

I am almost 4 months out and I still drink Protein Shakes. GNC has a 100% whey Protein that is unflavored that I have used some. You might just try different ones. GNC carries other brands besides their own and some of them come in small sample packets.

My post op diet consists of having at least 1 Protein shake a day even after I'm on regular textures but I can't stomach them much anymore, at least for right now. I got sick of them pretty fast. If you're wanting something "fruity" then you could try Isopure 0 carb (if your diet is like mine and limiting carbs) or you could try Syntrax nectar brand fruity flavors. They do have a variety pack on the BariatricPal Store that I got to try. Here's the link: https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/variety-packs/products/syntrax-nectar-protein-powder-sampler-variety-bag-15-flavors

I haven't come across any Protein that doesn't have ANY flavor at all. Even the unflavored Protein Powder does change the taste of things but Syntrax does also have an unflavored powder that is supposedly "virtually tasteless in food and drink." To me though, it does still have some flavor to it but maybe give it a try.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
